Author of " Getting Acquainted with Trees " 



Color illuslratiens, $2.sj 



A book filled with suggestions and practical advice. The history follows 

 through the cycle of the year, devoting a chapter to each month's changes in the 

 growing garden. Remarkable photographic illustrations by the author. 



" One of the most dehghtful garden books of the year . . . altogether unique. 

 The garden is truly a home garden, an intimate part of the author's life." 



— Countryside Maga.zine. 



" The book is well printed. The many pictures, some of them finely colored, 

 are of unusual quality. The book smells of the garden. A record of unflagging 

 enthusiasm and successes and failures. Admirably written, good to read aloud, 

 and brimming over with love of flowers and vegetables and trees. It carries the 

 feeling of being written by a man rather than a woman, and yet a man who has 

 all a woman's sensitiveness to beauty. For suggestiveness and the inspiration of 

 joy in the garden this book cannot be surpassed in the long list of garden books. 

 It has the unusual merit of a very full index. The author knows what the garden 

 supplies that is good for the table, as well as the wealth of flowers it affords."

" The pleasures of amateur horticulture have seldom been so alluringly depicted 

 as by Mr. J. Horace MacFarland in this chatty and famiUar record of his own 

 experience on a modest urban, or perhaps we should say suburban, estate at 

 Harrisburg, Pa. It is a natural growth, this book of his, rather than a product of 

 cold calculation. ' I have written it,' he says, ' but my family have lived it with 

 me, and the print-shop which bears my name and enjoys my garden has made of 

 the book much more than a perfunctory item of work. The pubHshers, too, have 

 let down the bars, so that in a very special sense the book has been lived, written, 

 designed, illustrated, printed, and bound as the work of one man and those about 

 him.' " — T/ie Dial.
